Accordingly, I’m changing my signature from “Hunter/Huckabee
08” to “Huckabee ‘08.” Given Hunter’s dismal performance, he should drop out. He has the same platform as Tancredo, and Tancredo did pretty well.

Tancredo is the big upset here today. The muzzies and illegals ain’t gonna like that.

Oh boy, flame away.....

I have often thought Huckabee was underrated. But whenever I have heard him, he seems to make a lot of sense and comes off as a “real” person. I wish I could say the same for Romney, who often comes off as the robo-candidate. Not that Romney is necessarily a bad guy, he just seems very manufactured—kinda like Hillary. Of course, I’m sure there are a lot of Republicans who, understandably, feel uncomfortable with the idea of voting for a Governor of Arkansas under any circumstances. They need to let it go.

The guy hasn’t been able to get his message out.In the debates he hardly got any air time and neither did Tancreado. Friggin Ron Paul got twice the time both these guys got combined and I can’t figure out why for the life of me ???

It's great to see Rudy near the 'back of the pack'! Maybe most in the Republican Party actually will realize he's a liberal.
Go, Fred, Go!

The last time somebody went from Capital Hill to the White House was 1960.
Duncan should run for Senate as he would be an outstanding Senator.

The answer is lots of Democrats support Paul.

Ron Paul is good TV - Duncan isn’t, I guess. Maybe he shoulda worn a tutu.

Good Lord, Hunters’ results are disappointing.
I just sent him money too.
Fred, Tanc, (shudder) Mitt and Huckabee,
Those are, to me, THE choices.

John Cox?
Republican Party chairman of Cook County, Illinois (includes Chicago). Never been elected to anything above school board, ran for several federal offices and lost miserably. Far more suited for a Karl Rove position than President.
